warming up to infrastructure and vacancy in Syracuse

This projcect explores vacancy in downtown Syracuse through atmosphere, aiming for a space that responds well to both use and disuse. The building adapts to Columbus circle as an important intersection of circulation and program as well as a resting place for residents. Approaching from various sides, the walls offer l e v e l s o f o p e n n e s s . T h r o u g h o u t t h e d a y, l i g h t filters onto the concrete, while a perpendicular wall sheltering a private garden provides a moment of pause.

O n Va c a n c y Why is it that an empty building nothingness than nothing at all?

WILD AGGREGATE an Urban Getaway Village in Syracuse Westside

I c h o s e t h e s i t e o f 2 1 5 Tu l l y , an abandoned warehouse complex to redesign as an urban getaway village. With a team of five, we were inspired by the chaotic aggregate of these volumes, seeming to revolve around a central core, a fortress. My approach to housing is driven by distilling the essence of the graffiti covered walls - self representation with private The explosion of expression inside and out seems to result i d e n t i t y. I n t h i s i n i t i a l c o n c e p t sketch from the stark, untouchable public housing units. b e l o w, l i f e i s p r e s e n t e d o n t h e f a c a d e o f t h e building: a sectional elevation.

Protedcted balconies encourage self expression on the facade. Rather than be exposed, as in the first concept sketch, people fill in their balconies with thier what they wish people to see. While the residences are primarily meant for artists, workshops, community gathering spaces, make up the restored first floor to encourage production and expression for all. A public gallery fills in what was previously a gap between two volumes, so that the community has a place to express itself.

The reuse of this building is a sign of respect, carried thorugh in the workshop program as well: interior and demolition materials, wood, tiles, and metal, are stored in the material storage on t h e f i r s t f l o o r, t o b e r e u s e d i n p r o j e c t s .

H o w e v e r, immediately upon entering, the primary mass reveals itself as a courtyard from which all the programs are accessible. This Getaway is an escape from the chaos of life, where people can go to refocus.

‘sudoku approach’ With the goal of creating a public voting pavilion for the 2020 elections, I chose the cite of an empty square in front of the Federal Building in Syracuse NY in order to emphasize the unifying potential of the process. T h e b u i l d i n g , h o w e v e r, i s a l o o m i n g g r o u p o f towers, so in order to lighten their impact, I played with the beige material, manipulating the ground plane into seating and play space. I used an orthogonal plan in combination with brick to reconcile the austerity of the site with the surrounding historic neighborhood.

PAVILLION, SQUARED

F o r m a l l y, t h i s p r o j e c t e x p l o r e s b o u n d a r i e s through material, thickness, and hierarchy within a rigid logical system.

In my own design, I pursued a formal logic that a c c o m m o d a t e d t h e c i r c u l a t i o n o f a v o t i n g c e n t e r, would serve as a break space for the Federal building workers, and would draw in and engage the citizens of Syracuse.

The pavilion is set up on a 5x5 grid defined by the paving at the square. The hierarchy of the planes is determined by their proximity to the towers. The planes weaken as they get closer to the street, opening up and drawing people inwards, while at the back height creates a buffer between the towering buildings and the square. Moments of intersection reveal the relative strength of each element.

In response to the program of an art condenser with studios and exhibition space I took inspiration from street markets which define Longitudinal Section t h e c i1/4”=1’-0” rculation/exhibition by the leftover space surrounding the stalls or places of production. H o w e v e r, t h i s r e l a t i o n s h i p i s p l a n a r, s o I attempted to translate this relationship into section through the use of extruded squares angled in space.

The definition of the exhibition space by the studios and lobby is best seen in plan. This inside- outside relationship strengthens t h a t o f t h e a r t i s t a n d v i e w e r. T h i s c o n c e p t is strengthened moving upwards from the ground floor: the ground is open and in line with the sidewalk, the second floor plate lines the site, and the third floor plate is defined by an offsetting of the volumes.

SLICING FACADE overlaps and bubbles

This project emphasizes three design strategies from precedents to create a facade that acts i n d e p e n d e n t l y y e t i n f l u e n c e s t h e i n t e r i o r. I used a thin screen application that continues i n w a r d s t o c a r v e o u t s p a c e . To j u x t a p o s e t h e loose facade, I maintained a simple concrete structure with changes only at important m o m e n t s . F i n a l l y, i n s p i r e d b y N e r i m a a n d S c a r p a I overlapped the two systems in different ways to create a variety of spaces through consistent language.

exploring boundary

I became fascinated by the meaning of boundary t h r o u g h a n a n a l y s i s o f t h e H e y d u k Wa l l h o u s e . T h e wall not only serves as a plate against which the volumetric living spaces project forwards, but as a threshold as well, made visible through material difference. The effect is quite striking - there is a distinct feeling of being in front or behind, despite the symmetry of the wall.
